Production of Biomass and Bioactive Compounds Using Bioreactor Technology

Abstract

Panax quinquefolium L. and Glycyrrhiza uralensis Fisch. are important medicinal plants and health food that are used worldwide. Field cultivation of Panax quinquefolium and Glycyrrhiza uralensis is an extremely time consuming and labor-intensive process. Plant cell culture offers an alternative for obtaining valuable chemicals, especially plant-specific bioactive secondary metabolites. In this review, cell suspension cultures of Panax quinquefolium and Glycyrrhiza uralensis are described for the production of bioactive compounds.
